maryland public service commission issued a temporary order on may 25th that certain options for maryland's consumers smart meter installation. there are two things that consumers can do, they can go on the pepco website and basically type it in and opt out on the website or they can mail in a written request to opt out, and i have put up the address online, but it is a pepco address in washington d.c. this applies to two categories of customers. some customers already have the meter installed and so if that is the case, they can still contact the company and say do not activate the signal even though the meter is there. they can also contact the company if the meter has not been installed already and say do not install the meter. now, this is a temporary measure until the maryland public service commission decides whether they will allow consumers to opt out of the installation of the smart meter. >> why is your office against this? >> it's pretty -- >> why is your office against the smart meters? >> our office actually had challenged the proposal from pepco and bge to install these meters
